One part of the Grey Lady’s girl power narrative is a 13-part video feature dedicated to 2012’s strongest leading ladies. This ‘web series’ (and I mean web series in the broadest sense of the term) is called Wide Awake, and it is equal parts impressive and mystifying. Check out the Anne Hathaway installment, where the Les Miserables and Dark Knight Rises star does some sort of colorful dance in an apartment she is cleaning:

In my mind, Wide Awake is notable not for its nebulous imagery, but for its cast; most of the thirteen actresses involved are Hollywood heavyweights, and several others (such as Beasts of the Southern Wild‘s Quvenzhane Wallis) could get there soon. Even if you can’t wrap your head around the intricate meanings woven through each installment, you can still enjoy watching your favorite actress from the previous year get a little extra screen time. Unless, of course, your favorite acting performance was Kristen Stewart in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, in which case you might want to check out a couple other films that were released this year.
